Following the Dallas Stars 3-1 win against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, the arena staff decided to play "La Bamba," which is usually the Oilers' victory song.

"La Bamba" isn't just any old tune for the Oilers. It holds a special place in the hearts of fans because it's a tribute to two incredible individuals who were part of the Oilers family: Joey Moss and Ben Stelter, may they rest in peace.

Yet the Stars' DJ didn't quite realize the significance of the song and thought it was just a fun victory anthem. He likes to poke fun at each opposing tea after the Stars beat them.

Well, he quickly realized his mistake and stepped up to the plate with a heartfelt apology. He even went a step further and made a donation to the Ben Stelter foundation to make things right.

He owned up to the error and showing genuine remorse. If it had been any other team's victory song, it might've been taken as a good-natured jab. Yet given the emotional connection between "La Bamba" and Joey Moss and Ben Stelter, Oilers fans understandably weren't too thrilled about it.

However, Shippy's apology goes to show that sportsmanship and respect transcend the game itself. It's moments like these that remind us why hockey fans are some of the best in the world.
